Chapter 1:- A Helping Hand
It could be said that everything started during their junior year, when Jessie Hall helped Cam Ashton out with an assignment.
“Whoa, thanks!” Cam said in a relieved voice as he gathered his materials and shoved it inside his bag. “That was a really tough one. If it weren’t for you, I would be stuck here forever!”
“No sweat,” Jessie replied with a shrug as she gathered her books and stood up.
“W-Wait,” Cam suddenly called out as he got to his feet.
Jessie turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow questioningly. “Yes?”
“Let me buy you something. As thanks.”
“Like what?”
“Food?”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Uh, okay. Just tell me, okay? Anytime, anywhere.”
Jessie frowned. “Why are you bent on buying me something?” she asked suspiciously.
Cam shrugged. “I’m the kind of guy who always pays his debt in advance.”
Jessie sighed. “Look, I gave you a helping hand. For free. Now scram,” she added before turning away from him.
That was probably, no, should be the last time they ever talked to each other, but fate has something else in store for them…
